This work was carried out from June 2006 to Februar 2010 under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Paul
Knochel at the Department Chemie und Pharmazie of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität,
Munich.



Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation to Prof. Dr. Paul Knochel for giving me the great
opportunity to do my Ph.D. in his group and for his guidance and support in the course of my
scientific research.

I am also very grateful to Prof. Dr. Thomas Carell for agreeing to be my “Zweitgutachter” as well
as Prof. Dr. Heinz Langhals, Prof. Dr. Konstantin Karaghiosoff, Prof. Dr. Klaus T. Wanner and
Prof. Dr. Hans Rudolf Pfaendler for their interest shown in this manuscript by accepting to be
referees.

I really would like to thank Andreas Wagner, Dr. Andrei Gavryushin, Sebastian Bernhardt,
Matthias Schade and Silvia Zimdars for the careful correction of this manuscript.

I thank all past and present co-workers I have met in the Knochel group for their kindness and
their help. Special thanks to my actual and former lab mates Milica Jaric, Tobias Blümke, Dr.
Murthy N. Cheemala, Dr. Shohei Sase, Dr. Felix Kopp and especially Dr. Yi-Hung Chen.

I would like to thank Matthias Schade, Dr. Georg Manolikakes, Fabian Piller and Andreas
Wagner for the fruitful collaboration in the field of the benzylic zinc chemistry, Sebastian
Bernhardt and Dr. Andrei Gavryushin for their great support in the area of the addition of
organometallics to carbonyl derivatives. I would also like to thank Cora Dunst for her help on the
carbometalation reactions as well as Laurin Melzig and Dr. Christina Despotopoulou for their
contribution during the thioether cross-coupling projects.

I would also like to thank Vladimir Malakhov, Simon Matthe, Beatrix Cammelade, Renate
Schröder and Yulia Tsvik for their help in organizing everyday life in the lab and in the office, as
well as the analytical team of the LMU for their invaluable help.

I thank Christian Argyo, Annette Frischmuth, Teresa Dennenwaldt and Nadja Barl for their
contributions to this work in course of their internship in the Knochel group.

I’d like to thank all members of our incredible band for the fun we had together. Rock on!

I would like to thank my parents for their great support, throughout my studies and my Ph.D.

Finally, I thank my wife Teresa for her love and patience.
